My first rpg was diablo 2. Pretty good game, but the one which got me hooked was fallout. I started with fallout 2, but then played all the series. I really wonder why aren\'t so many post nuclear rpg.

Legend of Zelda:  A Link to the Past was my first RPG.

Also played many other Zelda games like Ocarina of Time, Majora\'s Mask, Oricle of Ages, Oricle of Seasons.

I played the FF series once a long time ago and was put of by the fighting style. Seemed to chess like to me and too many FMVs. Might have changed over the series, but for any series to run over 12 odd games, must be flogging the dead horse.

I also played Secret of Mana, Evermore(Or was it called Secret of Evermore?) Love them games, lots of entertainment back in the days of SNES.

Also, anyone else here played Dink Smallwood??

Dink Smallwood was crappy.
I guess my first fantasy game was Heroes of eminem, but that\'s more of a strategy. The first proper FRP was BG2:SoA.

Zelda on NES, but since it\'s supposed to be a computer-game..does Heroes of Might and Magic 2 count?

Nice thread :)

My first fantasy game ( although it was more fantasy/adventure than \"RPG\" ) was Loom. Although I was only about 9 at the time, so I don\'t remember a whole lot of it. I don\'t think I ever finished it.

Other than that, Zelda: Link\'s Awakening on the GameBoy ( again, I personally would class that as more adventure type game? ).

First real big fantasy was Baldurs Gate though. Not had it long, I\'am late to the whole fantasy/RPG genre myself. I got about 1/4 of the way through, but Univeristy work always get\'s in the way and after you leave it for a while you forget where you are :( I will definately play it all through over this summer after my exams though :)

Does Leisure Suit Larry count as an RPG? :D

Eye of the beholder, or some game with crypt or something in it\'s name, or moonstone(kick-ass game, i never beat the dragon though(annoying bugger)), all on the AMIGA.

I don\'t suppose Gauntlet counts?  I\'m trying to think of one that I played on my C64.  There has to have been at least a couple of them... Ah.  Maybe DarkZone counts.

What the heck was the name of that game?  It was on a Top 10 disk.  You know... the disks with stupid games that the companies can\'t sell alone because they\'re not worth it.

Anyway.  Guess this post didn\'t contain anything useful.

ok, aendar, you confused some people...

kings quest isn\'t an RPG, it\'s an adventure title, along with leisure suit larry, monkey island, and day of the tentacles (whos proper title is maniac mansion II) zelda is still in the running because it is known as an adventure/roleplaying game.

Rogue was probably the first game I started on.  Nothing like mashing the spacebar in hoping that it would somehow attack that Q harder.  Then you end up facing a T(roll) and having it whip your ass.   Either that or starve to death.  It had also fire breathing dragons and magic wands.   Not bad for an ASCII game....
